Science has already proven my point for me thank you very much.

[Zanshin]

You're just trying to out me...and I don't like it one bit. Stupid science.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I never work out at all.  Whoops.

[Zanshin]

I have to work out. My wife has a tendency to get shredded if she looks at a weight. I'm afraid if I don't stay strong, she'll try to kick my ass.

Does anyone know of a good web site for figuring out your daily caloric intake? I have a wager with the ladyfriend that I need to win.

This one's good because it shows what you need for maintenance, weight loss, and extreme weight loss. I'd say it's fairly accurate.

shtein. Unless my lunches are consistently more than 1000 calories I lost this bet. I would have sworn that I took in way more calories from food than I do. Hooray booze.

I read an article a few years back that said people (on average) take in 1000 more calories a day then they think they do.

[rjs246]

I'm taking in about 500 less than I thought. Maybe I'm not factoring in some significant quantities of calorie laden food, but either way, I was surprised by how few calories my research added up to.

[mpmcgraw]

I was up to 3500 calories for a bit there. 

I've gotten a lot stronger, but now I'm shooting for 2500-2700.  I was putting on a little too much flab for my liking.

[PhillyPhreak54]

I use www.fitday.com each day to track my calories and shtein I do in the gym.

I was browsing some of their activities that you can input as physical activity and under home activities is "butchering animals" which is good for 11 calories burned per minute.

And cooking Indian bread on an outside stove...wtf...which is good for 5 calories burned per minute.

fargin is good for 3 calories a minute.

[Zanshin]

If you don't burn more calories farging than making bread, you're doing it wrong.
